Authoritarianism again?

What is it about conservatives and authoritarianism? I can only shake my head after reading a number of postings and comments saying that the campus security officer at U.C. Davis should not feel bad about pepper-spraying peaceful protestors. After all, he told them to move, right? And if a cop tells you to move, you'd better do it or prepare to face the consequences, as disproportionate as they might be.

And what the heck is up with Megyn Kelly? Pepper spray is a food product? Really? That's almost as good as Rush Limbaugh saying waterboarding and prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib is "sort of like hazing, a fraternity prank."
